The pitch

Manufactures traditional Indian musical footwear (ghungroos) and percussion instruments (ghantis) for classical dancers, folk artists, and cultural performers using handcrafted beadwork and metal casting techniques.

Direct sales to classical dance schools, folk music troupes, wedding event planners, and online via Instagram/Facebook marketplace; bulk orders through cultural NGOs and temple committees. Production runs are triggered by confirmed orders; raw materials sourced locally (leather from tanneries, beads from craft clusters); finished goods packed and dispatched within 3-5 days of order receipt.

Sample project cost ₹8,99,000 covers raw material inventory (leather, beads, brass), basic workshop setup (bench, tools, drying rack), packaging supplies, and initial marketing materials.

  • Raw material price volatility

    Bead and brass prices fluctuate; negotiate fixed-rate contracts with 2-3 trusted suppliers
